Thanks for the answer Armand, I'll try to explain better the model, since
there's more people asking me about it here by e-mail (Ana Kuzjminska and
others).
Before that, I tried what you passed me, I had already tried that aproach,
but didn't work, it sorts, but doesn't give the engineer the proper
workorder.
About the model I am trying to create, it is a simple distribution of
workorder to engineers (for any kind of company), where workorder is
considered to be any kind of problem, and it has a priority to be respected
and, sometimes, one or more skills, that are required to do that work, for
example, an engineer that must fix an antena must know how to fix that,
otherwise, there's no reason to send him there.
An engineer may have none or several skills. Everyone has a worktime to be
respected (this is working at the model, but I'm not using Date attribute
yet, it will be another step).
The model classes:
Engineer
-- worktime (int)
-- name (string)
-- skillEngineerList (List<SkillEngineerList>)
Workorder (PlanningEntity)
-- requiredWorktime (int)
-- priority (Priority)
-- requiredSkills (List<SkillWorkOrder>)
-- engineer (engineer)
SkillEngineerList
-- engineer (engineer)
-- skill (skill)
SkillWorkOrder
-- workorder (workorder)
-- skill (skill)
Skill
-- name (string)
Priority (enum)
-- code (string)
-- deadline (double)
As you can see, a workorder may have none to several skills, same's for
engineer, there's where I am at the moment. By scorecalculator i was able
to make it work, but it is not excluding the workorders that exceed
engineers time:
Engineer 1, worktime 8 - skill ABC1, ABC2
WorkOrder 1, worktime 8 - requiredSkills ABC2
WorkOrder 2, worktime 8 - requiredSkills ABC1
only one should be assigned to it, since he can do both, but when running
my model, the hard constraint of time is being broken, and both are
assigned.
After that works, the next step to this model would be implement the
priority, the lower the deadline is, the more important it is, and it will
work directly with a date property that i'll insert in worktime object
later, because the workorder will have to be answered from the moment it is
registered according to its priority.
It would be something like this:
Workorder (PlanningEntity)
-- requiredWorktime (int)
-- created (Date) <--
-- priority (Priority)
-- requiredSkills (List<SkillWorkOrder>)
-- engineer (engineer)
so, if a workorder is registered at 10:00 am and priority is P1 with
deadline of 1 hour, it should be answered right away, based on engineer
worktime either.
The solution I found by scorecalculator:
public HardAndSoftScore calculateScore(Distributor distributor) {
int hardScore = 0;
int softScore = 0;
for (Engineer e : distributor.getEngineerList()){
int requiredWorktime = 0;
List<Skill> requiredSkillList = new ArrayList<Skill>();
for (WorkOrder o : distributor.getWorkOrderList()){
if (e.equals(o.getEngineer())){
requiredWorktime += o.getRequiredWorktime();
for (SkillWorkOrder swo : o.getRequiredSkills()){
requiredSkillList.add(swo.getSkill());
}
}
}
int engineerAvailableTime = e.getWorktime() - requiredWorktime;
if (engineerAvailableTime < 0 ){
hardScore += engineerAvailableTime;
}
int commonSkillCount = 0;
for (SkillEngineer se : e.getSkillEngineerList()){
for (Skill s : requiredSkillList){
if (se.getSkill().getId() == s.getId()){
commonSkillCount++;
}
}
}
if (commonSkillCount != 0){
hardScore += commonSkillCount;
}
}
return DefaultHardAndSoftScore.valueOf(hardScore, softScore);
}
but as I said, every workorder is being assigned exceeding engineer's
worktime.
